FOR RORBING THE MAILS.
Arrest of Clarence Curley Young Man in
SWantOn.

Swanton.
There isconsiderable excitement in Swan.
ten over the arrest by an agent of
the government of Clarence Curley,
charged with robbing the mails. Curey
is about 20 years DID, of respectable fam
lily, is quiet, innocent looking youth
whom no one suspected capable of the
bold work he has performed. Curley was
employed for few months by the former
postmaster, j. p. Jewett, and also by C.
H. Reynolds, the present postmaster. In
May last young Curley gave up his posi-
ton, claiming his eyes troubled him.
For a year past many complaints have
been made TO the government about
money lost in this vicinity and Postoflice
Inspector Henry Chase was ordered to in
Vestigate. For the past few weeks Chase
has been overhauling the offices on the
| Islands and some in this county. The re-
suit of his work narrowed the thing down
to this Office and Chase has devoted a
week in investigation here. Monday
Young Curley wa; hired to assist in the
office few days during the sickness of
the regular clerk, Miss jessie Tobn.
Monday night Curley slipped into
trap by taking decOy letter and last
night was caught in the act of robbing the
mails by Inspector Chase. Curley had
optueu I'VE lellerS Waen ChaSe stepped In
and arrested him. The young man was
/ brought before the United States commits
sioner at st, Albans, pleaded guilty
and was bound up for trial at
the United States Court in the
sum of $1,000. Curley confesses only
/ to what is proven against him and lust
how much money he has taken is hard to
tell. IL Is believed the former postmaster
lost 500 or more in small sums, and the
! present postmaster is quite looser. 1t is
reported Curley had false keys to
| the office, and has been IN the
/ habit of entering the postofiice at night
since he gave up his situation. This clears
/ upa mystery that has been hanging over
| the postal affairs of this vicinity for some
| time and removes suspicion from several
persons. Owing to his youth and hither-
to good name the boy is looked upon
! with considerable pity, and the parents
| have the sympathy of the community.
